I’d get the SE, unless you know the lack of always-on display is a deal-breaker. For people who have always worn classic watches, being able to always see the time is a basic feature. If you don’t normally wear watches and are fine with having to do a gesture or tap to see the time, get the SE, otherwise get an older series something (7? 8?).
I hear you!! Some people like “always on”. For me .. don’t need my watch to be on when I’m not looking at it. Mine set at “wake on wrist raise”. Always on dramatically reduces battery life on my AW6 SS.
The screen never turns on when I raised my hand. But it did flash on and off while I steered my car, so in theory it does work. I’m now keeping it always on :D
It works fine for me when I do a big “oh look at the time” or “hurry up buddy” motion but when I actually just want to check time or something it’s usually a subtle flick and that doesn’t trigger it at all. So always on is a must for me.
